In previous years I’ve had some pretty good, original costumes, such as Indiana Jones and Elton John (complete with feather boa, sparkle shoes, etc).
This year I have decided I want to do something from the mid-90s (I find myself nostalgic for that time period and it’s an era I’ve never done)
Here’s the requirements I have:
1. It has to be something easily recognizable but something nobody else at my Halloween parties will be.
2. It has to be something that will not only make me stand out, but also look appealing to the opposite gender (Elton probably was not but I was younger then)
3. I want it to be detail oriented. I want to be able to have little things that make people go "Wow.. you really spent some time on this"
4. I want to be able to move around. Like I said, I’ll probably be party hopping so it can’t be anything bulky, anything I’d have trouble dancing in, and anything with two many props (1 or 2 max such as my whip and camel back when I was Indiana Jones)
5. The person can’t have blond hair because I don’t and I don’t want to wear a wig or dye it.
Some ideas I’ve been toying with
Butthead- I don’t want a Beavis and it’s kind of simplistic
Hair Metal Band Member- Could work but more 80s than 90s and I did that last year
Something from Old School Nickelodeon (Don’t know what yet)
Austin Powers- The humor is 90s but he’s really from the 60s and I don’t want to act like Austin Powers all night.
If anyone has any ideas or places for me to go I’d appreciate it a lot.
